THE PLAYHOUSES.

“LOVE WATCHES,” AT THE HAYMARKET.
IKE so many recently staged plays, the English—
or American ?—version of ‘‘ L’Amour Veille’’ is
a mixture of comedy and farce, and, like its pre-
decessor at the Haymarket, it has calf love for its
motif. It is not the boy-lover in this piece who is so
desperately ingenuous. It is the heroine who sets the
tone of the play—a little chit of a schoolgirl, who,
when it is arranged she shall marry just the young
husband she would have chosen, at first pretends
defiance and then naively assures him of her affection.
She is rather charming in some ways, this frank,
impulsive, whirlwind-tempered ingénue, but she is de-
plorably sentimental, lavishing and demanding kisses
from her husband with exasperating frequency. That
sort of spectacle soon grows wearisome. She is, how-
ever, also capable of furious fits of jealousy—childish
jealousy—and for these her husband’s previous flirta-
tions furnish plenty of excuse. At last she is worked
up to such a pitch of exasperation that she determines
on reprisals, and selects for her victim the most un-
likely of men, a poet modest and _ unattractive.
Elopement with such a lover is a mere farée, and
indeed her husband, as soon as he learns the name
of his rival, cruelly declares at once in his presence—
Ther of course you are innocent.’’ Thus this fuss
about nothing ends in reconciliation and more kisses.
The play met with a mixed reception on Tuesday night,
and probably Miss Billie Burke, in the heroine’s réle,
had something to do with the dissatisfaction as well as
the applause. Her gitlish moods of gaiety and irre-
sponsible anger were amusing and even pretty, but her
pathos and sentiment are of too childish and artificial
a kind to carry conviction. The best performance of
the evening was that of Mr. Lawford as the unhappy
poet, a careful and delightful study of a type that
seemed only too real.
“HENRY IV. (PART IL). AT THE LYRIC.

Since Mr. Lewis Waller’s portrait of Hotspur was the
outstanding feature of Mr. Tree’s Haymarket revival

‘Henry IV. (Part I.),’’ it is not surprising that, even
thirteen years afterw: ids, this popular actor, who since

then has added Henry V. and Brutus to his Shake-
spearean achievements, should wish to repeat, undet
his own management, his earlier success. That his

sentation of the hot-headed Percy has not lost any

repre
issionate energy, that it is

of its fiery eloquence and ,
still as picturesque and virile performance as ever, no
playgoer who has watched Mr. Waller’s careful cultiva-
tion of his voice and more and more complete mastery
of its intonations, or knows how well he can realise
the manly, impulsive hero of romance, will be at all
surprised to learn Sut the Haymarket production suf-
fered from one serious blemish There was not a Prince
Hal worthy to balance this Hotspur; the Perey had it
all his own way, and so the artistic proportions of the
play were destroyed. Mr. Waller has wisely determined
flaw shall mar his own revival, and has
engayed Mr. Robert Loraine to limp rsonate Hotspur’s
royal rival. Now, Mr.
buoyant personality, no less re
manager; to breeziness of manner
adds—on the stage—a certain hauyhtiness of temper
which suits the Prince, and at the same time he
believes, no less than Mr. Waller, that Shakespeare's
speeches were meant to be declaimed and heard. So
Greek joins Greek in this production, and we get, as
the play progresses and the Prince of Wales gradually
tires of his tavern comrades, though Mr. Loraine is very
happy in the inn scenes, a genuine clash of wills, a
conscious rivalry The Falstaff of the Lyric matinées is
not new to his work Mr. Louis Calvert has played the
Fat Knight before, and there is a ripe humour, an

JHILANItHROPY, as far as I can see, is rapidly
becoming the recognisable mark of a wicked
man. We have often sneered at the superstition and
cowardice of the medizval barons who thought that
giving lands to the Church would wipe out the memory
of their raids or robberies; but modern capitalists
seem to have exactly the same notion; with this not
unimportant addition, that in the case of the capitalists
the memory of the robberies is really wiped out. This,
after all, seems to be the chief difference between the
monks who took land and gave pardons and the
charity organisers who take money and give praise:
the difference is that the monks wrote down in their
books and chronicles, ‘‘ Received three

hundred acres from a bad baron”’;

By G. K. CHESTERTON.

likely) I cannot think myself a hero because I allow
some younger people to leap up the crags and dance
upon the mountain-crests, and am content myself with
a comfortable arm-chair and a view of the scenery.
Rockefeller cannot be said to gvve his wealth to
other people ; one can only say that he leaves it for
other people. In order to give one must first have ;
and the multi-millionaire does not truly possess his
margin - millions: he cannot touch them, enjoy them,
or even imagine them Rockefeller decides not to
absorb the whole of his own wealth just as he de-
cides, with the same generous self-abnegation, not to
drink up the sea or use up all the heat of the sun.

are to set that philanthropy as a virtue over against
his vices, then we have a right to ask if it is really
virtuous. [he question is about his morality; the
question is whether he got his millions by tyranny
or fraud; whereas it I died worth millions, it
would be quite self-evident that I could only have
got them by mistake.

I confess that I object to this particular style in
which the millionaire is whitewashed, or, to speak more
vividly, is silverwashed. In the case of Mr. Rockefeller
it would, pethaps, be yet more correct to say that he is
anointed with oil. But whatever metaphor we choose
for this covering- up of his real

features there are very strong moral

whereas the modern experts and
editors record the three hundred acres
and call him a good baron. Of late,
however, I am happy to say, some
candid voices have been heard about
the corruption and cruelty of the
men who are the pillars of public
benevolence; and if such voices have
been raised, you may be sure that
they have been severely rebuked. A
gentleman, whom I take the oppor-
tunity to thank, has sent me, along
with an interesting letter, the following
extraordinary passage from an Ameri-
can leading article: ‘‘ As often as
we make a virtuous attempt to re-
gard that arduous golfer, Mr. John
D. Rockefeller, as an undesirable
citizen!’ of the big northern republic,
he does something so superbly hu-
mane that one must feel impelled to
come down hastily from the seat of
the scornful and censorious. The
incredible octopus, punctured by a
thousand fountain- pens, has just
authorised the New York Association
for improving the Condition of the
Poor to open Junior Sea Breeze, the
summer hospital for babies at Sixty-
fourth Street and the East River.
For the last three summers Mr.
Rockefeller has maintained this hos-
pital for children entirely at his own
expense. He has donated the land
used, and, in addition, has spent be-
tween 20,000 and 25,000 dollars or
the camp. Now, in all seriousness
we ask, what are you going to do
with a man who comes to the help
of the City-pale babies in this pra
tical fashion and keeps the Record
ing Angel blotting out portions of
his record with tears ?”’

The chief item of this year's Royal Naval and Military Tournament, which opened at Olympia on Thursday, is entitled “ Transporting Troops to a Theatre of War.” It is imagined that

Finance Bill is before the House,’’ and this measure
waits upon the adoption of the various resolutions
fixing the taxes. Meantime the divisions in Committee
have encouraged the Opposition. Late on Monday night
the Government majority fell to 79, and even on the merits
of the License duties it was only 83. Irish Nationalists voted
with the Unionists, and evidently a number of Liberals
were absent without being paired. Amazing figures
were quoted by Mr. Faber and others showing the
stupendous increase of the duties on great London
hotels, tens of pounds being raised to several thou-
sands. Mr. Lloyd-George tried to abate the alarm,
and stated that he was considering alternative pro-
posals which had been submitted to him; and when
Mr. Lyttelton cited the case of the Savoy, on which
the license duty would be increased from £20 to at
least £5418, Mr. Herbert Samuel declared that the
Chancellor had no intention of proposing such crush-

THE PIANOLA PIANO

is the only Piano in the World

(1) That enables you to play all the music there is. (2) That shows you how to interpret that music correctly.
(3) That allows you to accent the right notes at the right time.

et LO “~-_—-

*UCHI a comprehensive statement cannot truthfully be made of any other piano,
» ) for the reason that none other contains the Pianola.

There is only one Pianola It is not, as many think, a name for any and all

piano-playing devices, but a registered Trade Mark applicable only to the instru-

ment made by the Orchestrelle ¢ ompany.

Phe Pianola Piano, then, is a piano with a Pianola inside it. You can play

it by hand as well as with music-rolls.

When you adopt this latter method the key - striking is faultless and correct.

Jou control the expression. The Metrostyle, a patented device found only in the
Pianola, enables you to interpret a piece as some famous musician has played it.
The Themodist, another patent, accents the melody notes and ensures a musicianly

exposition of even the most complicated Composition, and all the time you—the

performer—are actually the responsible plaver, imbuing the music with your own
individuality Not machine music, but just as truly a personal artistic rendering,
instinct with the musical feeling of the performer, as any gitted musician would give

when playing by hand on the concert plattorm.

You can buy the Pianola Piano from 70 Guineas upwards,
and give your present Piano in part exchange.

LADIES’ PAGE.

Recess LOUISE, Duchess of Argyll, looking

very handsome in a grey gown with white ostrich-
feather necklet and a black hat trimmed with white,
gave the assistance of her presence to a meeting at
Grosvenor House ‘‘to promote the higher education of
women in home science and economics,”’ in connec-
tion with King’s College classes in the subject. The
Earl of Lytton made one of his usual sensible speeches,
going to the very root of the matter when he observed
that mothers felt that to give up the time of their girls
to education of any sort was ‘to run a great risk of
their not making a successful marriage, which is the
be-all and end-all of their ambition.’’ Cooking, he
might have added, is a particularly unfavourable subject
to take up when the main object in life is to secure
matrimony: it means reddened hands and a scorched
complexion! Could anything be more absurd, any
ituatio. more grotesque, than that the preparation to
fulfil a career should most probably block the way to
entering on that career? Yet so silly are young men,
and on such mistaken grounds and in such feckless
fashion do they seek and choose their life’s partners, that
nobody can doubt that this statement of Lord Lytton is
absolutely correct. The girl who is earnest, sincere,
and early resolute in preparation for the duties of life
is left to waste the sweetness of her nature and the
greatness of her mind in celibacy and childlessness,
while the girl to whom dress, fast manners, and frivolous
amusements are the only things worthy to be considered,
is chosen as the wife, to be the bad mother of the next
generation, and the ineffective, ignorant house-mistress.

And—‘‘ What are you going to do about it,’’ O pro-
moters of domestic classes ?
Then there is another difficulty. In an article to

which the Zzmes gave large type, it was suggested
that ‘‘any scheme which is practical must make
adequate provision, not only for training, but for in-
spiring girls of the working class with an appreciation
of the magnitude of the service which mothers render to
the community if they bring up their families well."’
The ‘‘inspiration’’ that comes from outside to the worker
can only be of two kinds—praise and pecuniary payment.
Motherhood and home - making in this country too
often secure neither class of reward. In fact, it is
only by ‘‘inspiration,’’ in the true sense of the word,
that the mother is recompensed, and that is something
which must be experienced to be understood, and there-
fore cannot make its full appeal to girls in their teens
looking forth on life. That it is worth while to enter
on long studies as to keeping house well and rearing
healthy and happy children--although you will thereby
acquire no money of your own to spend or to Save,
though widowhood is an overhanging possibility that
may plunge you into the deepest distress, and, though
nobody may praise or even coldly recognise the
success of your labours— that still it is worth doing
is what clever girls cannot properly foresee. Then,

A PRETTY SUMMER DRESS.

This graceful gown is of spotted silk voile, the edges, the
waist, and the top of sleeves outlined with black velvet
ribbon threaded through broderie Anglaise, and lower sleeves
and chemisette of fine lace. Skirt pleated and corsage
draped as shown. Black chip hat with ostrich plumes.

since there is added the possibility that the domestic
career, which only comes through marriage, may not
be opened because she may not approve of any offer
she gets, and may even never take some youth’s
fancy enough to be asked at all, and, indeed, that
the more she knows and thinks the less likely she is
to achieve matrimony:—it is not difficult to see why
even meetings at Grosvenor House may fail to produce
the desirable end of putting household knowledge for-
ward as a career. Nevertheless, it is most desirable
that training should be offered to all gis willing to take
it, for domestic lore does not come by nature, and home
work is, after all, women’s most natural occupation.

Shantung is quite the most fashionable fabric of
the passing hour. It is of a thicker and firmer weave
now than it used to be, but the other characteristics
remain unchanged—the slightly uneven surface, the
dull gloss, the supple draping quality. It is being
employed for all purposes, and is forthcoming in all
colours. Rich dark tones are peculiarly successfully
dyed in Shantung; and again, the ‘‘natural”’ tint,
the shade between cream-colour and pale - brown,
is cool and summer-like and clean-looking, and is
much employed. There are whole costumes in this
material, some of the looser pinafore order, and others
in the tailor-made style. It proves to build a severely
simple coat and skirt very satisfactorily. Braiding in
the same colour as the material is a favourite finish ;
sometimes it is executed in flat, narrow silk braid ;
again in soutache, or the newly named round, small cord
now known as ‘‘rat-tail’’ braiding. Another old friend
reappearing with a new lease of popularity is foulard.
Here it is in all its old patterns, but especially in spots
on a different coloured ground, as white on navy blue, o1
white on cinnamon brown, or black spots on an emerald
ground, or chocolate-coloured spots on a white or a cigar-
brown ground. Spots are in high favour, by the way, and
are often used in the third most fashionable material of the
moment, which is voile. These three materials between
them construct nineteen out of every twenty smart after-
noon gowns. For morning wear, Irish linen is a great
favourite. A white muslin or net chemisette at the throat
relieves most toilettes’; and it is long odds that a touch
of black will be introduced in a belt, sash, or pipings.

Everybody knows the excellent cocoa prepared by
James Epps and Co., justly described as ‘‘ grateful and
comforting.’’ The same skill and care in manufacture
and the same perfect purity and excellence of material
that have made Epps’s Cocoa famous for many years
past are now beiny applied to the manufacture of high-
class milk-chocolate, and many varieties of choco-
late bon-bons and confectionery. The finest French
chocolates are challenged in this development of Messrs.
Epps's business, and those who know the cocoa will un-
doubtedly hasten to try the new ‘‘ Epps’s chocolate con-
fectionery,”’ while fresh patrons will be glad to be intro-
duced to both classes of excellent goods. ‘* Milenia’’ (this
is the name chosen by Messrs_ Epps for their milk-choco-
late) is nourishing and particularly delicious. — FILOMENA,

The
DRAWING Room

“ That apartment of a house where
the lady’s good taste most prevails.”

It is correct to have the decorative treatment light
and dainty, and the most charming effects in drawing
room decoration are obtained from the beautiful
lavender greys, sunshine-reflecting yellows and
creams, and the delicate greens of Hall’s Distemper.

This highly artistic decoration presents none of the colour-
fading drawbacks of wall paper, but retains its freshness and beauty unimpaired for years.
The flat uniform shades fully reveal the delicate colours of dainty feminine furnishings and
pictures, enhancing the beauty of effect which the repetition of wall paper pattern destroys.

There are reasons of beauty and reasons of health for the use of Hall’s
Distemper, and there never was such a range of decorative colours as are
provided in the 70 shades in which it is made.

AUTOPIANO

makes vour leisure hours bright and interesting, your home artistic and refined,
your parties and gatherings enjoyable to your guests. It is easy for you to
bring the Art of Music into vour daily life, but remember the essence of
Art is personality. , ;

The ‘KASTNER AUTOPIANO” makes its owner an artist. and allows

unlimited scope for the performer's personality. ‘he instrument relieves you
of the labour of fingering. Your hands control levers and stops which
graduate the expression and the speed with which the piano is played. As

the music gloriously resounds from the strings your hand accelerates or
retards the time: your feet give more or less force as the music requires it,
and the accompaniment is
subdued where the melody of
any note or chord requires
accentuation.

THE KASTNER AUTO-
PIANO is the original inven-
tion, and the individuality of
perfect artistic control distin-
guishes the same from all piano-
players or player-pianos. The
Flexible Fingers, Direct Action,
**SOLOIST,’’ Melody Accentor,
‘RELIANCE,’’ Motor, &c.,
are exclusive patents, and cannot
be had in any other instrument.
Che pianos in themselves are all
of the highest grade in tone,
finish, and durability. Some of the models are the finest the world produces, and
cannot be equalled. An enormous lending library of music-rolls open to all
Autopiano owners. YOUR PRESENT PIANO GLADLY TAKEN IN
EXCHANGE AT FULL VALUE, and as the prices are very low, for cash
or instalments, the purchase is an easy matter. By our plan of supply, distance
is no object.

The neglect of a little supervision in the matter
of the Children’s Bath is often attended by
unpleasant and sometimes serious consequences.
lf a common soap is permitted to be used, the
texture of the children’s skin is gradually
coarsened and rendered unhealthy. In fact,
many ailments are directly cue to the caustic
and other injurious ingredients which are
contained in inferior soaps. If mothers would
see that only

Efforts are being made to secure Lord Leighton’s
picture, ‘‘ The Death of Brunelleschi,’’ for the permanent
collection preserved in Leighton House for the public.
rhe sum required is £250. Donations amounting to
£208 11s. 6d. have already been given. In 1907 Doctor
von Steinle, of Frankfurt, the owner of the work, and the
son of Lord Leighton’s master and life-lony friend, pre-
sented a very fine design by Lord Leighton to this collec-
tion. He has expressed the wish that the purchase of the
picture, |‘ The Death of Brunelleschi,’’ should be con-
cluded this month, and the committee is anxious to meet
his views. Leighton House, where the picture is on
view, is now reopened to the public. Donations should

be addressed to the hon. treasurer, Leighton House,
12, Holland Park Road, Kensington, W. ; or to Messrs.
Drummond's Bank, 49, Charing Cross, London, S.W.

Among recent functions held at the Empress Rooms
attached to the Royal Palace Hotel, Kensington—one
of the most elegant and fashionable suites of rooms
in london for public entertainments—was the British
Women’s Patriotic League Ball, on Wednesday, arranged

by Lady West, of Chesterfield, Upper Norwood. It was
given to raise funds for a prize for men of the Terri-
torial Army shooting at Bisley Camp this summer,
the list of patronesses including the Marchioness

of Donegall and the Countess Amherst. Yesterday
(Friday) took place there the University College Hospi-
tal Ball, and to-day is to be held the Kensington
Lodge meeting and b:inquet.

HE Church Army held very successful meetings at
the Queen’s Hall last week. Prebendary Carlile,
it was generally remarked, appears to have quite re-
covered from his recent illness. No fewer than ten
Bishops were on the list of those who supported the
resolution, but we heard only three, owing to pressure
of time. Princess Marie Louise of Schleswig-Holstein
received promises and cheques at the close of the after-
noon gathering. It is well known that the Princess
takes an active personal interest in several departments
of the army’s work. Mr. Alfred Lyttelton, M.P., pre-
sided at the afternoon meeting.

Canon Holmes has been appointed Boyle lecturer
for the year. The reputation of this distinguished
preacher is rapidly advancing in London, although he
shrinks from publicity, and is rarely to be seen on
ordinary meeting platforms. ‘The series of lectures will
be given after evensong on eight afternoons of this
month, at the Chapel Royai, Savoy.

The Bishop of Ripon visited Shipley this month, and
consecrated a new church. This was the first occasion
on which Dr. Boyd Carpenter had taken part in a public
ceremony in this part of the diocese after his long and
trying illness. The Bishop of Durham, preaching re-
cently at Bradford Parish Church, described the Bishop
of Ripon as ‘ ‘the greatest living preacher in the Church
of England.’

The Archbishop of Canterbury has been pleading for
the Australian Bush Brotherhood. The Primate re-
marked that very seldom in the history of the Church
had there been a problem more difficult to solve than
how tu maintain Christian life with any vigour among
people who were away in the isolated back blocks of the
Australian sheep country. Men are now learning to
attempt that task. ‘‘I do not know any cause,’’ said
the Archbishop, ‘‘ in which the results are more certain
to be commensurate with our enthusiasm and care than
the Bush Brotherhood.”’

The Prince and Princess of Wales have promised to
attend the service at Glastonbury Abbey on June 22.
The proceeds of the service will be devoted to the fund
for the restoration of the ruins, for which help is much

needed.

Spring and summer are the seasons of renovation.
The long days and fine weather encourage us to make
the house beautiful for the coming months of gloom. In
Aspinall’s Enamel the housekeeper has indeed a trusty
friend. It is made in every shade required for decorative
purposes.

We regret that in our last issue the title of Sir James
Crichton-Browne’s new book, ‘ Parcimony in Nutri-
tion,’’ which is published by Messrs. Funk and Wagnall,
was wrongly given as ‘‘ How Much Should the Averaye
Person Eat ?’”’
